Ransom Posted November 21, 2003 Posted November 21, 2003 Remember the old NVIDIA update that was on the main news one day about a month or two ago? Well I got an NVIDIA gfx card and I'm wondering what its for. I'm having a hard time finding it from the site. Can someone explain and give me a site?

[KFC]KungFu Posted November 21, 2003 Posted November 21, 2003 Play Vice city if the polys are all hosed use version 1.1 that fixes it. It is only some Nvidia cards/Processor combos that need it.
Ransom Posted November 22, 2003 Author Posted November 22, 2003 I got a BFG Asylum 256MB. It has dual RAMDACs and is PCI. That just came out a little bit ago I think? Does that need it? Offical B.L.A.S.T.A.ddict VCP - winners of the official MTA tournament (undefeated!) /smug
True Posted November 22, 2003 Posted November 22, 2003 The nVidia driver update was to fix distance-draw bugs present in nVidia hardware. To say, however, I have had my problems fixed would be an inaccurate statement. Even with the 52.16's I still have draw distance problems with this card.

Ransom Posted November 23, 2003 Author Posted November 23, 2003 Hey this is a great GFX card. Just cause I don't have the most over costly high tech piece of crap on the market doesn't mean I'm an idiot. I've got better things to do with $500.

[PiG] Ponch Posted November 23, 2003 Posted November 23, 2003 as to answer the poor person who started this thread... here's the URL http://www.rockstargames.com get the VC 1.1 update...That's the Nvidia update they we're talking about on the other thread. It wasn't a driver it was a GTA update hope this helps... I look like a cop... You may think [PiG] are gone. You may think I'm dead. We're not. We're just undercover...

[PiG] Ponch Posted November 24, 2003 Posted November 24, 2003 if you notice in the readme for the 45.23's that's a pretty old version. They're up to 52.16. I look like a cop... You may think [PiG] are gone. You may think I'm dead. We're not. We're just undercover...
True Posted November 24, 2003 Posted November 24, 2003 Pretty old? You dont follow nVidia, do you. That was the version directly BEFORE the 52.16's. Most people are still using that version as well, becasue of incorrect trilinear filtering on the 52.16's. Plus, the only cards that see any real performance increase are the FX line - if you're using, say, a Ti4200 you wont see an increase in performance with the 52.16's. *sigh* I hate it when people think they know what they're saying... ...to all those who have doubted me...come see me now...

[PiG] Ponch Posted November 24, 2003 Posted November 24, 2003 *sigh* I hate it when people think they know what they're saying... *sigh* i hate it when people say this to people who are trying to help people. I think you will find I do know a lot more than you think. (It's my F*CKING job) It's a bit hard to know exactly WTF people mean when they start a thread with 25% of the information you need to help them. I know that it was the last version before 52.16. To ME august 2003 means it's an OLD DRIVER. 4 months is old dude. Remember the old NVIDIA update that was on the main news one day about a month or two ago? Well I got an NVIDIA gfx card and I'm wondering what its for. I'm having a hard time finding it from the site. Can someone explain and give me a site? Don't say http://www.nvidia.com because I wanna know the specific download! Here's ya bloody link...(because no one seems to want to give it to you, they'd rather flame someone who's trying to help) http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp-2k_45.23.html You are looking for a direct link aren't you Ransom? Or does True think I don't know enough to understand WTF you mean with the words "give me a site"? I haven't seen any links to sites by others. @ True: rather than flaming me why don't you just post the link for Ransom like I just did? Ransom asked to a web site not whether people can help it or not wether they have a PCI card. If people are trying to help, help them too. Many hands make light work... I AM TRYING TO HELP!!! NOTE: this link is only for Ransom to try the drivers for himself. That's all I'm trying to do. Ask for a link get a link. I don't care if it works for him or not. It's just a link that HE requested. I look like a cop... You may think [PiG] are gone. You may think I'm dead. We're not. We're just undercover...
